*(A/N)* Hey, Thanks for reviewing 8b all!!! Here's part 9, I'm hoping it'll be longer then the rest. Can you believe it? All these parts, and she's only been at school about a month and a half? Don't worry though, I've got some good things planned out. Well, heres Chapter Nine: we've left Chloe out on the pitch with Draco, who's humiliating her; EnJOy!!
Chloe Patil at Hogwarts: Chapter Nine
Chloe remained unusually silent as Draco continued to taunt her, still in shock from her wild ride.
"No wonder you didn't want to try out for the Quidditch team!" Draco continued, "With your flying techniques, the only way we'd win a game was if you managed to crash into and injure all the players on the other team!"
Chloe couldn't stand it anymore.
"Look Malfoy! I've never had any problems with flying before, my broom was out of control!" she said in disgust.
"Oh, so it was your broom's fault, was it?" he said teasingly, she could tell he didn't believe her. Chloe was infuriated, frustrated and confused. She didn't know what had happened out there, but she knew it hadn't been her fault. She had had enough of Draco for one night, and decided to put her broom away and go back to the castle. She turned, and began walking away from him, her eyes burning with tears (which surprised her, as she never cried.)
"Yep, go back to the castle, forget the whole thing." Draco called after her. "Don't see how you will be able to though, with these pictures hanging around." he continued.
Chloe spun around.
"MALFOY, DON'T YOU DARE!!" she screamed at him. He nodded gleefully. "If you hang up those pictures, or even get them developed, you'll be sorry!" she added. Malfoy gave her a look of mock terror, which angered her even more. She turned, blocking what he was shouting to her out of her mind, thinking of ways to get him back if he showed anyone the pictures.
She reached the broomshed, glancing around to make sure that no one (namely Draco) had followed her out of the Stadium. She considered cursing her broom to pieces right then and there, but decided against it. She threw it into the shed, knocking down other brooms in the process. She sighed, and entered to pick them back up, noticing a Firebolt as she did so. She held the Firebolt in her hands for a few minutes, speculating on whether she should buy one herself the next time she had the chance. She had enough money to do so, after doing all those odd jobs over the summer for her dad. After she left the broomshed, she continued towards the castle, still thinking about broomsticks.
She reached the castle and pushed open the doors wearily. The first thing she noticed upon entering was all the people leaving the Great Hall. She must've walked in on the ending of the cheerleading tryouts. She caught up with Roz and the others.
"Hey guys." she greeted them.
Roz spun around. "Where did you go? I was really worried, and you missed some important stuff!"
Chloe shrugged, much to Roz's infuriation.
"I went flying." she responded.
Roz looked at her in disbelief.
"You missed tryouts to go FLYING?" she cried.
Chloe shrugged again, but didn't say anything. Roz was still looking at her in disbelief. The rest remained quiet. They walked through the winding hallways in unusual silence. They finally reached the common room, and headed up towards the dorms in mutual (yet silent) agreement. Chloe planned to retrieve her homework and head back down again, and was surprised to find the others following her. They found an empty table, sat down, and began to spread out their books, working quietly. Suddenly Sara broke the silence.
"Did you guys know that tomorrow is a Hogsmeade weekend?"
The others nodded yes, and continued working. Chloe, however, hadn't known this, and looked at Sara curiously.
"Where's Hogsmeade?" she asked.
Sara looked up and began to explain. "It's the only fully wizarding town in the country. It's a short walk from here. There's lots of things to do there. My favorite place is Honeydukes, the gigantic sweet shop!"
Roz then looked up. "Uh huh, no way, it's got to be Three Broomsticks, they have the best drinks there, and there's always something interesting going on. You can see hags you know!" she added to Chloe, who looked at her curiously.
Then Jessika spoke up, claiming that the Shrieking Shack was definitely the best thing at Hogsmeade. This resulted in a good-natured arguement about what was the best place to visit in Hogsmeade. Chloe smiled at the familiarness of them arguing, glad to finally be rid of the silence that had loomed over them.
They finally finished their homework at 11:00pm, then headed back up to the dorm and argued some more about what time they would leave for Hogsmeade. Chloe wanted to go as soon as possible, being completely intruiged with the town, but the others who had already been there were against the idea. They finally settled on deciding when they would leave the next morning, then began to chat about who they considered to be the "dreamboat" (as Jessika put it) of Hogwarts.
"Well, I always thought that Flint was the best looking- you know, the Quidditch Captain a couple years ago, too bad he's left." Jessika said thoughtfully.
"Well, Cedric Diggory had been cute." Ashley put in. The other girls scowled at her for speaking so casually of Cedric. Everyone knew about him, even Chloe, and no one really liked to talk about him, or his death.
"Well he was!" Ashley said indignantly. "Speaking of that, has anyone seen Cho Chang lately? That girl's a mess!" Chloe felt sorry for the girl Ashley was speaking of, as it was true, Cho was sort of a mess. The best she'd ever seen her was the night of the first cheerleading tryouts, when she'd been chatting with a friend.
Finally, all six girls were ready for bed. They slipped into bed, talking deep into the night about the subject of guys. Chloe joined in every once in a while, but never mentioned Ron. She smiled at the thought of him, and this was how she asleep, a smile on her face and Ron on her mind.
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
"Should we wake her up?"
Chloe awoke to whisperings surrounding her. She didn't open her eyes, for fear that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again. She'd just experienced the best sleep she'd ever had, and wasn't eager to get up.
"Oh yeah, Miss, 'Let's get up Super Early!" she heard a sarcastic voice taunt.
"I know! She was so excited about Hogsmeade last night, I thought she'd wake up at the crack of dawn, shaking us all awake!"
That got her up. She sat up abruptly, opening her eyes, and cried,
"Hogsmeade! I forgot!"
The five girls surrounding her screamed and jumped back, startled.
"CHLOE!" Jessika said breathlessly. "Oh my god, we thought you were asleep!"
"I was!" Chloe replied brightly, she was, oddly enough, wide awake. "But SOMEONE woke me up!" They smiled sheepishly at her, and she grinned back at them. They were quite the sight, hair in disarray, sleepy, half-awake looks on their faces and pajamas still on.
"You guys look just delightful!" she said sarcastically, bouncing out of bed and flouncing off towards her closet to grab some clothes for the day.
"Oh don't go feeling all high and mighty about yourself Chloe!" Roz shouted back, "You look even worse then all of us put together!" Chloe hoped she was teasing, as they looked really bad!
She lingered in the shower a little longer then expected, listening to the sound of the water drops hitting the tub. It sounded exactly like rain, and she found it comforting. She finally got out and dried herself off quickly, pulled on her clothes and ran out to find the rest of the girls lined up in front of the door, clothes in hand.
"About time!" Jessika said to her, entering the bathroom. Chloe thought she heard her mutter something about other people wanting to be clean as well. She just shrugged and headed over to her bed, making it with a flick of her wand. She then cleaned the bathroom with another flick of it, as Jessika had exited the bathroom just as fast as she'd entered it, a look of disgust on her face. Chloe didn't even have to ask what was making Jessika scowl, she just assumed. Her assumption was right, as Jess entered the bathroom again once it was clean, looking quite content once more.
Finally all the girls were ready, and after eating some breakfast, they checked out of the castle and made their way to Hogsmeade. There was an air of excitement around them, and Chloe was absorbing it all. They reached the town in a matter of minutes, and began arguing once more about where to go. They finally decided to go in order, Honeydukes first, as it was closest. They walked towards the shop, Chloe could feel the moneybag in her pocket banging against her leg. She smiled when she realized that by the end of the day, she would no longer feel that banging, all her money would be spent!
Upon entering Honeydukes, Chloe looked around in amazement. She'd never seen so many sweets in one store before. They had everything from (her favorite) Every Flavour Beans to Blood Flavoured lollies. She grimaced at these, wondering who on earth would buy them. She stocked up on all her favorites, plus a few new kinds of sweets, then the group headed towards Zonko's, the joke shop.
Here there were so many things to look at, and Chloe giggled at most of them. This place made her think of Malfoy, which made her think of the pictures of her he possessed, which made her slightly depressed. Then, looking around, and thinking of all the things she could do to him with some well chosen "supplies", she brightened immediately. A malicious grin on her face, she began pulling things off the shelves. After paying for their things, the girls decided to visit the Shrieking Shack, before heading towards Three Broomsticks for a drink.
The Shrieking Shack was slightly scary, with all it's boarded up windows and overgrown grass, but Chloe didn't find as horrifying as some considered it to be. She wondered what it looked like inside, but quickly decided she was still scared enough of it to not want to find out. The girls shivered in unison when a cool, autumn wind hit them, and silently agreed that a warm drink was needed. They walked back towards the Three Broomsticks, which was packed with all sorts of people.
Roz, Chloe and Ashley went to go find them a table, after giving some money to Jessika, Sara and Aerika, who went to get them each a Butterbeer. They spotted a table in the back corner, and hurried through the crowd to grab it. They sat down, summoning two more chairs to them with a charm, and waited for the other three to reach them. Finally, Jessika, Aerika and Sara could be seen making, almost pushing, their way through the crowd, being careful not to spill either of the Butterbeers that they were holding. They reached them and sat down gratefully. The group of them sat, sipping their Butterbeers contentedly and chatting nonchalantly.
Chloe suddenly noticed Ginny and her friends walk through the door. She waved and grinned at them, and Ginny returned the wave with a smile. The other girls sitting with Chloe turned around to see who she was waving at, and scowled when they saw who it was, which was why (Chloe assumed) Ginny didn't come and talk to them. They all finished their Butterbeers quickly after that, talking about heading back to the castle. Chloe didn't want to leave, but she decided to go along with them, she'd be back. Walking out of Three Broomsticks, however, she spotted a store that caught her eye.
"Hey guys," she said stopping. "What about that store?"
"Quidditch King?" Jessika questioned. "You don't honestly want to go in there, do you?"
"Of Course I do!" Chloe replied brightly. "I want to see everything there is to see here!" She also secretly wanted to look at the brooms.
"Come on then." Roz said wearily. "Just try to be quick."
Chloe scowled at their dampened moods, but led them into the store anyway. She headed straight towards the brooms. They didn't have any Firebolts, which was alright as she didn't have enough money with her to buy one anyway, but she instantly fell in love with a Nimbus 2001, which was less expensive then the Firebolt, but still a very nice broom.
"Look guys!" she said breathlessly. "I'm getting it, right now!"
The other girls looked at her questionably.
"Are you sure Chloe?" Roz questioned uncomfortably. "I mean, it's alot of money, and....you know, we heard you aren't all that, um, great on a broom."
Chloe looked at them disbelievingly. "You five talked to Draco? When?"
"Oh, is that who took the pictures?" Aerika piped up.
"PICTURES?" Chloe screamed, receiving looks of distaste from the store clerk. "You mean he actually got those developed? But, still, when did you five see them?"
"Well," said Sara, also rather uncomfortably. "We didn't know who took them, but this morning, while you were sleeping, we found them hanging on the outside of our door. We took them down because we knew that you'd feel bad if people saw them, but I'm not sure who did."
Chloe groaned in disbelief, suddenly glad she'd bought all those things at Zonko's. This, however, made her even more determined to buy a new broom, as she was still convinced it was the Cleansweep's fault that she'd nearly died out on the Quidditch pitch last night. She picked up the broom firmly in both hands, and brought it to the counter. She paid for it, completely wiping her out of cash, but left the store feeling the happiest she had all day.
They walked back to the Castle grounds, pausing at the Broomshed.
"Well," said Roz expectantly, "Aren't you going to put your broom away?" she was still amazed that Chloe had actually bought it.
"Are you kidding? And risk another sabotage? I don't think so!" She replied, "I'm keeping this baby up in our dorm!" The others looked at her as if she was nuts.
"As long as it doesn't clutter the rest of our space!" Jessika grumbled.

Chloe Patil at Hogwarts: Chapter 10
Chloe's broom, however, did not clutter any of the space in their dorm. It didn't, in fact, spend very much time in the dorm at all, as Chloe spent any free time zooming around the stadium on her Nimbus 2001, dragging along anyone she could find. The 4th year girls of Slytherin finally agreed with her that it had been Chloe's Cleansweep's fault that she'd had such a wild ride a couple nights ago, yet they still wouldn't admit that someone, namely Draco Malfoy, in Chloe's opinion, had sabotaged her broom.
"Look Chloe," argued Roz one night, sounding slightly tired of the now familiar arguement, "look at me while I'm talking, NO ONE SABOTAGED YOUR BROOM!!!!" then, seeing that Chloe was about to speak, she held up her hand to stop her. "Listen carefully, Chlo, it's an old broom, that's probably been through alot, and something just happened. It's not anyone's fault, especially not your own, now can you just drop it?"
Chloe didn't want to drop it, but the venomous look on Roz's face told her to do otherwise. She just sighed, and returned to the Charm's homework she'd been working on. Roz did the same, only she had Divination rather then Charms. Chloe felt immensly sorry for her, a fight then Divination was not her idea of a good time. In fact, even a fight then Charms wasn't her idea of fun either. She packed up her books, half-finished, then said to Roz,
"I have better things to do, wanna come?"
Roz looked up at her, a mixed expression on her face. Then she sighed once more, packed up her things too, then smiled.
"Only if you give me a chance to ride your broom!" she replied. Chloe grinned, then raced up to the dorm to grab the broom, telling Roz to wait for her. When she returned, the two of them marched to the Quidditch field, talking about Jessika's obsession with Roz's brother, Frederick. Chloe wondered if Parvati was still obsessed with him, and realized that she'd hadn't spoken to her sister since the first day when she went to visit. She hadn't even seen Padma, never mind talked to her.
When the two of them reached the stadium, Chloe handed the broom over to Roz (though rather reluctantly) to ride first. Chloe had never seen Roz fly, and was amazed when she did. Roz was awesome, a natural! She swerved and looped like a pro. Chloe wondered why Roz wouldn't try out for Quidditch, then she realized that she'd never asked Roz if she planned to. When Roz finally landed, Chloe rushed over to her.
"That was amazing!" she said breathlessly. Roz just smiled. Then Chloe continued, "Roz, are you planning on trying out for the Quidditch team?"
Roz looked at her solemnly, then replied. "I'm a cheerleader." Chloe didn't say anything, but instead took the broom from Roz and took off into the air. Flying made her feel a bit better, although her mind was still clouded with Roz's comment. How did she know she was a cheerleader, and why did she look so solemn when she'd said that? The look on her face suggested to Chloe that Roz was set to be a cheerleader, no matter what. This kind of scared her, as she wasn't sure of what Roz was capable of doing. She landed, not feeling the same sort of satisfaction from flying that she usually did. The two girls headed back up towards the castle silently, the mood that had been around them considerably dampened.
When they finally reached the castle, they opened the doors to find a large group of students, milling around what appeared to be some sort of sign. Chloe and Roz pushed their way to the front, and Roz read the sign out loud.
"Quidditch Try-outs for Each House will begin This Week. Each house has it's own appointed time and day as listed:
Hufflepuff: Tuesday, 7:30pm; see Mark Evans
Ravenclaw: Wednesday, 7:00pm; see Cho Chang
Slytherin: Thursday, 7:30pm; see Draco Malfoy
Gryffindor: Friday, 7:00pm; see Angelina Johnson
On Monday, a co-house Practice will be held at 7:00pm, hosted by Madam Hooch. All students wishing to try out are encouraged to attend this practice. A half hour before each House's try-outs, the team members will be at the Stadium to answer questions and help in any way. Please, do not go to the Stadium before the half-hour mark! Thank You."
Roz finished, and shrugged. "Big deal." she said flatly, turning from the sign. Chloe, however, was incredibly excited, and memorized the day and time of Slytherin tryouts, vowing to get to the practice on Monday at any cost. Then, she too turned from the sign, looking through the crowd for Roz. When she didn't spot her, she jogged through the halls leading to the Common Room, finally catching up with her at the stairway to the dungeons.
"Why," she gasped, out of breath from the impromptu jog, "did you leave?"
Roz just shrugged. "Didn't interest me."
Chloe looked at her in disbelief, clutching a stitch in her side. "Well, it interested me, you could have waited!"
Roz then looked at her, her eyes flashing in anger. "Well, the other night, what interested me didn't seem to be too important to you! What did you expect from me?" Then she turned from Chloe, marching down the steps. Chloe stood there in confusion, mustering to catch her breath once more, and succeeding.
"What just happened?" she asked herself. Then she sighed at her rotten luck and started down the stairs, still confused as to what was going on with Roz, but figuring it was about her skipping the cheerleading practice before. Why was Roz mad about that just now? It had happened a couple days ago. Roz was Chloe's friend and all, but sometimes Chloe just couldn't figure her out.
When she reached the common room, she went back to the table at which she and Roz had been working on their homework, but found only her books left. Roz had taken hers, and was now working at a table with Pansy Parkinson, the fifth year prefect. Chloe scooped up her own books, still carrying her broom, and headed up to the dorm, planning to do her homework there. As she was just leaving, she glanced back at Roz, who was looking at her too. Roz just glared at her, and then laughed at something Pansy had said.
Chloe reached the dorm, laid down on the floor, and spread her homework out in front of her. She was having trouble concentrating, which may have been why it took her twice the usual amount of time to finish the seemingly easy work. She suddenly drifted off to sleep, still laying on the floor, but was awoken only a few minutes later by a sharp pain in her hand. She looked up abruptly, and saw Roz entering the bathroom. Chloe assumed she'd stepped on her hand on the way there, and had reason to believe that she'd done it purposely. She jumped up, and began to yell.
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM??? Stepping on my hand, oooh, really mature Roz, god, what's going on with you, ever since I moved up to fifth year, you've been acting all aloof! And then there's the whole Quidditch/Flying thing, so what if maybe I don't want to cheerlead, I want to play Quidditch! Are you going to have a big fit over that the way you have one every time I even mention a Gryffindor? OH, and THAT, well that subject is one all on it's own that I'm not even going to bring up right now!" Chloe finished, tears streaming down her face, although she wasn't sure why. She listened hard, and could hear some incoherent, muffled noises coming from behind the bathroom door.
****************************************************************************
Jessika Matthews had just opened the door to the 4th year girls dorm, to find Chloe Patil, a dorm mate, in hysterics, yelling at the bathroom door.
"...bring it up now!" Chloe finished, tears streaming down her face. Jessika didn't know what was going on, but wanted to find out.
"Umm, Chloe?" she asked cautiously, "why are you yelling at the bathroom door?"
Chloe looked over at her, a surprised look on her face, which quickly turned to annoyance.
"Don't be so daft!" she spat, "I'm not yelling at the door, I'm yelling at what's behind the door!"
Jessika's temper began to rise, it wasn't her fault that Chloe was upset, who did she think she was calling her daft?
"Oh and what did the bathtub do to get you so upset?" she said sarcastically.
Chloe looked at her, a pained look on her face, and burst into a new round of tears. Jessika felt bad, she knew Chloe hadn't meant what she said, and rushed over to help her friend. Chloe was crouched up on the floor, whimpering and sobbing at the same time. Jessika knelt down beside her.
"What's going on, Chlo? Who's in the bathroom? This isn't about those pictures, is it?"
Chloe looked up at her, with a trace of insane violence. Jessika backed away, fearing her life. (well, not really her life, but Chloe did look rather psychotic)
Chloe, however, took out her wand and blasted the door to the bathroom, exposing Roz, who was also curled up on the floor, gasping with sobs. Roz looked up at Chloe, a look of equal craziness across her face. Jessika didn't know whether to interfere, or just get out of there. Roz, too, was taking out her wand, and Jessika decided to go downstairs and get Sara, Aerika and Ashley for backup before interfering.
***************************************************************************
Roz was laying on the bathroom floor, sobbing at Chloe's words. She didn't know what was wrong, but she hated fighting with Chloe. She didn't know why she was mad at her, maybe cheerleading just wasn't her thing. She'd been alright with it before she'd gone flying earlier, out there something just happened, when Chloe had asked her if she was going to try out for Quidditch. Chloe didn't know this, but Roz had been debating whether to try out for Quidditch or Cheerleading, and decided on Cheerleading. It didn't make much sense for her to try out for Quidditch, she didn't own a broom, her family didn't have enough money to buy one for her, and they wouldn't take much notice to her on a school broom. This made her determined to be a Cheerleader, if she couldn't become popular playing Quidditch, she would become popular being a Cheerleader. And being popular was all that mattered to Roz.
Another thing she was mad about was the way Chloe treated Draco. Upon laying her eyes on him, Roz had been in love with Draco, and would do anything to get the attention from him that Chloe did. Chloe didn't know how much Roz hated her for this. Roz hated her more then anything when it came to the subject of Draco. Draco was in love with her, it was obvious, yet all Chloe could do was insult him, try to get the better of him. Draco would retaliate of course, it wasn't his style to just let someone get the better of him, but all the while he still liked her. All these little fights between the two of them just brought them closer together really, Roz thought bitterly. Because when Chloe would do something to Draco, all he'd think about was getting her back. All he'd think about was her.
So Roz had finally figured out why she was really mad at Chloe. Chloe was trying out for Quidditch with her Nimbus 2001. She'd get picked, Roz knew it, even though she wasn't even really all that great. She was good enough, but nothing compared to Roz, Roz knew it. Yet she'd still be picked, bringing her ever closer to Draco. Roz was bitter at her. If her family could afford to buy her a broom, she'd be the one picked, she'd be the one spending all her time with Draco, and for once Chloe wouldn't be the one in the limelight.
Roz had just finished this thought when the bathroom door suddenly burst open. Standing there was Chloe. Suddenly, Roz's anger for the girl doubled, and she pulled out her wand, ready to take anything Chloe dished out.
****************************************************************************
Chloe looked at Roz, her eyes hard as stone, as was her heart. Yet, looking at her friend, her anger began to melt. I don't want to hurt Roz, she thought to herself, I just want to know why she hurt me. Chloe lowered her wand, just as Roz raised her own.
"You didn't have to blast down the door," Roz snarled at her, "I was almost finished." Chloe knew she meant this to be menacing, but she found it to be funny, and burst into laughter, much to the annoyance of Roz.
"What are you laughing at?" Roz wailed. "This isn't funny!" And with that she burst the lamp on Chloe's bed with her wand, the glass of the lightbulb shattering and scattering everywhere. Chloe covered her face, for fear the glass would hit her, but lowered her arms quickly. She looked over at Roz, who was grinning evily back. Now Chloe knew why Roz's comment back at the pitch had scared her, she was just seeing the bad side of her friend. Chloe calmed herself down, fixing the lamp with a wave of her wand, then she said to Roz,
"Come on, Roz, let's just talk about this. I'm sorry I lost my temper and blew down the door, seriously. Here, I'll put down my wand first," she said, bending down to put her wand on the floor, but keeping her eyes on Roz. Standing back up, Chloe saw Roz looking at her questionably, but she then sighed.
"Chloe, pick up your wand. I won't use mine, if you don't use yours. I promise."
Chloe picked hers back up, then sat down, beckoning for Roz to sit down across from her.
"What's going on, Roz? What happened, why are we fighting?"
Roz sighed. "I don't know." she responded, although she knew it was a lie. She looked at Chloe, who was gazing at her searchingly, then looked down.
"Yeah, you do know." Chloe said sadly. "Listen, let's not fight about this anymore, but when your ready to talk and tell me about why your mad at me, let me know." Then she stood up and walked over to the bathroom door, fixing it using several charms. She didn't see Roz nod her head bleakly.
Suddenly, Jessika, Aerika, Ashley and Sara burst through the door, looking slightly like 4 Charlie's Angels, in posing in Ninja positions, wands in hand.
Chloe and Roz burst into laughter, the four of them looked so rediculous.
"JESSIKA!" Sara yelled, "I thought you said they were practically killing eachother up here!"
"They were!" Jessika cried in indignation.
Roz and Chloe looked over at eachother, giving one another a small smile. Each girl was thinking the same thing...
"I wasn't about to kill her...."
****************************************************************************
Draco Malfoy was prancing around the common room late into the night, looking oddly like a child for whom Christmas had come extremely early. No one was there but him, much to his content. He didn't want anyone seeing his little collage before tomorrow morning and ruining the whole effect. He giggled (which was quite odd as he'd never done it before) At about a hundred Chloe Patils, screaming in silent terror, swerving madly, eyes bulging out of her head. He'd blown up the pictures 100x magically, making it so that two could fill up one wall. He looked down at the small roll of tape in his hand, that would barely be enough to hold up one side, wondering where he could get more.
"Ahh, screw it!" he thought, pasting them to the wall magically instead. "There," he thought, smiling evilly. He couldn't wait until morning.
****************************************************************************
Chloe laid awake in bed, not able to sleep. The others had fallen asleep ages ago, yet something seemed to be bothering her. She thought of her Charms homework, and bolted up into a sitting position, realizing that she'd done something horribly wrong. She decided to redo it, seeing as she was awake, and finally able to think straight for the first time that night. She crept to the other side of the room where her books were still laying, wondering where would be the best place to do it. She ruled out the dorm, not wanting to wake the others at this time. That would be what she liked to call suicide. She instead decided to go down to the common room, where the merry fire could keep her company. She giggled at her last thought.
"Merry Fire?" she asked herself, shaking her head. Maybe she still wasn't thinking straight. She still went down to the common room, as sleep still wasn't an option, and gasped at what she saw. There were at least four gigantic, hers, staring down at her. Only they weren't really staring, more like screaming silently in terror. She shook her head, wondering why Malfoy was still playing at this. They didn't bother as much as they did before, as she knew she could fly well now. She opted for revenge instead.
Looking through her book, she found a difficult charm that would enable her to change her face on the picture to Malfoy's. His face would still bear the same expression as hers, but it would bear his facial characteristics, and the body would be changed. She contemplated on leaving his face on her body, but decided against it, as she wanted people to believe Malfoy had really gone through that flying experience.
An hour later, Chloe was practically crying in frustration. Try as she might, there was no way the face on the picture would change to Malfoy's. The closest she got was Crabbe and Goyle. She sighed, then decided to leave it be, as she liked those two as much as she liked bogies, (Which she didn't like at all, just in case your wondering if she was one of those kids who blow their nose and look at it for just a little too long.......) and didn't care if they were humiliated either.
She knew that eventually the three of them (Draco, Crabbe and Goyle ) would get her back, Crabbe and Goyle for obvious reasons, and Draco because she'd ruined his evil plans, and shook her head, wondering if she'd ever learn.
"Probably not." she said to herself. She was having too much fun embarrassing them at the moment to think of the consequences.
*(A/N)* Well, that was a long (and rather strange...) edition to my series, hope you liked it! It probably won't be on until tomorrow, however, as right now I can't get on to Fanfiction.net..........I hope that part from Roz's point of view made sense to you, as it did make sense in my head, but sometimes it's hard to transfer your thoughts into words. Oh well, if you got it, please review and tell me. If you didn't get it, please review and tell me. Thanks A Lot!!!!!
Love and Laughs........

(When you review, use the rubric if you want, A+ to C, you know the drill!!!)
